Weekly Astrology for May 1, 2017 by Chris Flisher

We begin the week with May Day, a traditional holiday amongst many ancient cultures. The May Pole is probably the best remembered icon of the day along with a historical show of arms in Red Square, Russia. Aside from those two cultural references, we witness Mercury stationing direct after its retrograde period. Mercury will crawl back over the degrees in which it retrograded and then will be clear by the end of May. Aside from the retrograde period, Mercury will also align by degree with Uranus. These two planets share many of the same archetypal characteristics in that they both operate in the realm of spontaneity. This is a cerebral realm that is prone to bringing out the unexpected and the unusual. This highly charged alignment can deliver startling results that appear to come from out of nowhere. When we glance out at the global stage this alignment could deliver something quite unexpected. Of course we can only begin to imagine how that might unfold especially with so many volatile hot spots currently ready to pop. While that may be highly likely we can also embrace the idea of the alternative, which might entail a radical calming of events that swerves us in the opposite direction.

ARIES (March 21- April 19)

You could be incredibly engaged and communicative this week. With a lot to say and an imagination that is swirling faster than usual, you may be inclined to speak up and put yourself out there in the most responsible and admirable form. Others may find you and your words to be inventive and completely original.

TAURUS (April 20 -May 20)

Watch what you say this week. You may be overly aggressive and temperate. This influence may feel a bit like you cannot hold yourself back. The fact that this exists should be reason enough to tread carefully and pause before you say anything you might regret later. Words cannot be taken back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

You might be faced with a situation that requires quick-thinking this week. Fortunately you are the one sign of the zodiac who can turn on a dime and muster up the correct response. The difference is that you might even surprise yourself with what comes out and how startlingly brilliant it is.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

Expect a lot of unusual conversations to swirl around your career this week. You might be actively looking for a new place of employment and the calls are coming in. You have great potential to really complete something quite significant. Whether that means accepting a new position or simply moving up where you are. Follow your hunches.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Creativity and spontaneity are key concepts for you this week. You might reach a conclusion that arrives out of nowhere, yet seems completely normal despite how unexpected it may be. Consider teaching opportunities as an outlet for such possibilities to occur. Travel may also bode well for your imagination this week. Stimulating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A rather unusual conversation may occur that swirls around the subject of the family or your home between you and an elderly relative. Are you suddenly making plans for a new option that had not occurred to you before? You might be delighted to find a very positive and supportive offer that eases your ability to move forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A rather touchy alignment this week might drag you and your partner into a serious discussion about one of your relatives. Of course with such an eclectic mix just about anything could happen; both positive or negative. What's most important to understand is the possibility of such an encounter. Be prepared and be diplomatic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov 21)

An exciting week awaits you as the unexpected arrives at work. A reorganization or other shift may occur that may involve a lengthy and serious discussion for which you might be unprepared for. Expect monetary topics to be a part of this conversation and take into account that you have been notified.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Keep an eye on children and your own sense of authority. Do you have what it takes to navigate an unusual request that involves younger people or your creative output? Both of these areas are highlighted and may pop up in your discussions this week. You may have to take the high road and offer a responsible solution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Responsibility has always been one of your claims to fame, Capricorn, and this week you may be deferring to that side of you as topics of family and home rise to the surface in your world. Surprises are likely so prepare yourself for unusual responses to unusual situations regarding family members and living arrangements.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be testing your research skills this week only to stumble upon some rather unusual information in the process. How you use what you discover may be the key take-away from the week. Discussions may circle around back to business associates so be cognizant of their feelings and expectations. Remain flexible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might be discussing budgets and resources this week so be mindful of that topic. You may be tasked with trying to find areas that are available for cutting or bolstering within your work-oriented spheres. As long as you are fair handed and even you may find that you are able to satisfy both ends of the spectrum.
